Late in the thread, but . . . I'm using Namazu to index Mailman/Pipermail archives. Out of the box this will index many types of files, and if you look around you can sometimes find a filter for other file types. [EMAIL PROTECTED] filter]$ pwd /usr/local/share/namazu/filter [EMAIL PROTECTED] filter]$ l bzip2.pl excel.pl html.pl msword.pl powerpoint.pl tex.pl compress.pl gzip.pl mailnews.pl pdf.pl rfc.pl deb.pl hdml.pl man.pl pipermail.pl rpm.pl dvi.pl hnf.pl mhonarc.pl postscript.pl taro.pl (The Pipermail filter is not included in the package; somebody wrote it and passed it along to me.) Nice thing about it, you can run searches from the commandline, or use a web interface. http://www.namazu.org Todd
